Title
Packing d-degenerate graphs
Abstract
We study packings of graphs with given maximal degree. We shall prove that the (hitherto unproved) Bollobas-Eldridge-Catlin Conjecture holds in a considerably stronger form if one of the graphs is d-degenerate for d not too large: if d,@D"1,@D"2=1 and nmax{40@D"1ln@D"2,40d@D"2} then a d-degenerate graph of maximal degree @D"1 and a graph of order n and maximal degree @D"2 pack. We use this result to show that, for d fixed and n large enough, one can pack n1500d^2 arbitrary d-degenerate n-vertex graphs of maximal degree at most n1000dlnn.
